Faith Formation Ministry
In Christ Alone - Bible Study of Philippians
 Continuing in the Youth Room, this week we see how, as Christians, our identity is in Christ Alone. This Bible study is not only for youth who are attending the National Youth Gathering and their families, it is for all who wish to benefit from this study of Philippians and come to a fuller understanding of how our entire lives are found in Christ Alone.
One Family Bible Class
For the month of April, Seminarian Nate McCarty will be leading the adult Bible class in the Family Life Center. This week we study Luke 7 where sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet. From this we learn of God's free mercy and that we should respond with acts of love and praise.
Stewardship Sentence
John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." On their own sheep are in great danger. They need a shepherd to guide them. The sheep know  the Shepherd's voice - and we delight to go where He leads. Of course, the world, the devil, and our own sinful flesh want to pull us in another direction. Namely, they want to pull us in the direction of death. But following the Shepherd means life. So no matter how difficult the path is that the Shepherd points out: let us follow Him!
Women's Evening Bible Study
The Thursday evening Bible study began a new study on February 18. The study guide is "God's Love Through You: A Guide to 1 John." All women are welcome; gathering together is a great opportunity to share prayer concerns and be strengthened by God's Work and by each other. Eighteen women currently are a part of this group; not all can attend every time and that is understood. We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:00pm.
Women's Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Beginning Tuesday, February 23 at 9:15am we started a new seven week Bible study. Please consider joining us as we explore "Discerning the Voice of God" presented by Priscilla Shirer. Through this study you will become more familiar with God's Holy Spirit, His character, language, and tone of voice. Call Carol Froesel or Jeanne Clark if you have any questions.

Calling All Crafters!
We will be hosting another craft fair this fall on Saturday, October 15, 2016 from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M All kinds of crafts are needed to make the fair a success. If you have a special talent that you would like to showcase, here is your chance. All money's collected from the sale will be used for the repair of the organ. We understand that this repair will require the removal of all the pipes to get to the problem area. If you plan to donate to the fair please let the Nifty Knitters and the Clever Crocheters know what you have in mind. Place your ideas for donations in Sally Dobrunz's box. Thanks in advance for your donations.

 Children's Worship Materials
We are looking for someone to take charge of the children's worship materials at the back of the church. This would entail periodically checking the bags to ensure each is stocked with paper, crayons, etc. If you are interesting in serving this way, please contact the church office.
